“My professional goal was to gain international exposure, so before choosing where to get my MBA I did a thorough assessment of top business schools to get the most out of an investment in an MBA. INCAE’s exceptional faculty, relationship with Harvard, case methodology, knowledge-intensive program, multinational group of students, recruiting companies, and brand prestige were the key factors in my decision.”

“I would dare say INCAE is your best MBA choice in the world, because you get more for your money. Quality is extremely high and price is rather reasonable, considering it covers room and board, and tuition. Being here has made me realize how graduates leave with such a good training.”

“Professor quality and vast professional experience turn the faculty into an unrivaled knowledge-building tool. Professors demand the most from students, and we give our best when pushed to the limit.

“INCAE faculty members are of a very high level, and during the MBA I gained several insights that made me value them even more. One of these insights was my exchange trip to BEM (Bordeaux École de Management) in 2010. Coming back to INCAE after a good exchange, and being able to compare and value the faculty, the classes, and the tenacity in case method development at INCAE was very enriching and gratifying to me.”

B: Ligia Olvera

“INCAE uses the case method, which it learned from the best, Harvard Business School. I was a student at both INCAE and Harvard, and I can tell you INCAE develops cases and manages the case method very well. Learning through cases is a complex proposition; you have to read a lot, prioritize, synthesize, and learn to manage complexity. It can feel overwhelming at first, but once you manage it, it can be much fun and quite dramatic in terms of learning.”

“I like INCAE’s sustainable development approach and projection very much, since you can feel it in every course, regardless of whether or not it is the main topic in the class, but this is a worldwide reality and it is not shunned but brought forward as an issue.”
